Re: Empirical studies of convergence

I can't help but notice: You keep referring the the cherry picking of data, yet choose to ignore the evidence that was shown to you that thylacine was observed to stand on its hind legs, use it's tail for balance,jump great distances and to HOP as a form of locomotion. All traits observed in kangaroos.

I'm referring to the post be iceage (message 40) and the link provided:

http://www.naturalworlds.org/...turalhistory/behaviour_1.htm

Correct me if I overlooked a previous post of yours.

Re: Empirical studies of convergence

"If they were shared, it would imply that all Dasyoromorphs and Diprotodonts evolved from a hopping ancestor, which, to me, sounds very dubious"

Good point.

As false comparisons go, I would still say it is a better one than fur stripes

Thank you. That was driving me crazy.
